I bought this one today from oreilly auto. It says 18" max. $65:

It gets the tires off the ground. My first try was with the truck set to medium, jack mode on, and the jack screw 1/2 way up. The tire lifted a bit, but I wanted it higher. interestingly, when I lowered the jack the truck didn't come all the way down, so that made it easy to extend the screw, get the jack in place and get the tire higher off the ground. Worked for a rear tire as well. Seems like setting the truck to high might work better than medium.

I ended up getting this one from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-heavy-duty-hydraulic-bottle-jack-58835.html - $89.99 Retail, I had a coupon and got 20% off when I bought it.
I got the same jack. It does the job but it's heavy.

Did you go to medium height?
I needed to put the truck on the "high" height to get the jack to fit. I also extended the jack to the maximum height by unscrewing the top to get the tire to come off the ground. It all worked though.

I also got a hard case off Amazon to store it, when not in use. And to make it easier to transport in the bed.

It took a while ( over a year) but I now notice the piston looks tilted to the right compared to the barrel.
:oops:

Yeah, I posted a jack with built in safety stand earlier in this thread, and I noticed this year how much sideways force is exerted on the jack when changing tires. Even with the extension as high as needed to engage the jack point, you still need to lift the vehicle enough where lateral forces start to affect the jack. It's kind of sketchy because the base of the jack doesn't move like roller style jacks can. I've had the jack piston bind up when lowering. Will probably look into a high lift rolling jack because of this

Good point. I didn't chock the back wheel for that test. Maybe that would help.

Dumb question: With the lift points being so small, how does one get a lift stand in place while on the jack? The jacks take up all the lift point real estate.

Jack points and jack stand points are different! There is a picture in your owners manual that shows you where to jack the truck up at and where to place the jack stands. It has been posted here as well. Literally 1 page back in this topic thread: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/i-need-a-jack.21238/post-30467824

It's this one. But the interior size I got was 16.9x11.4. I don't see that variation available now. Find one similar that the jack would fit in

Thanks! I just left it in the original box. Unopened. Hopefully never have to open it but it's heavy and hard to move around. Will grab this and foam insert for when we do out road trips.
